I know Moloney was subbed off but I couldnt see him sitting on the bench and didnt see him walk off after the game. I was sitting on the other side of the ground and couldnt see him. Was he injured or was he sitting in the corner of the bench?

I still cant believe he didnt touch the ball for a whole half.

Flu.

What, you've never had the flu?

Moloneys commitment can't be questioned.

...... its the flu, if he was so physically challenged by it then he should have done the right thing and pulled out of the game (i know that it wouldn't have made a difference to have a different witches hat out there today, but come on)

We had a player on standby, Tom McDonald didnt play in the Casey side, and warmed up with the seniors at half time of the VFL.

So for Moloney to put personal pride in the way of team functionality is simply not good enough!

If he had the flu then why did the play? Jurrah had the flu last week and pulled out before the game.

Exactly right if Beamer had the flu and couldnt run out a game he should not have been playing. I love Beamer and he is probably our real captain but we needed his run out there today.

And they were getting smashed out of the centre."

Was great news for Tom. He didn't have to debut in that garbage.

As far as I'm concerned they've been on notice all year, or at least since the eagles subiaco debacle. This club needs to grow a set & start making some hard decisions in regards to player mentality & professional preparation. We've heard all the excuses & possible explanations. It's time to bring in a coach & FD that is proven & uncompromising (preferably personel from outside the MFC as our culture is an absolute laughing stock). If the Board don't spend or raise the appropriate funds needed to assemble a top class FD this playing group is going down the same path as the failures before them. I just hope this flogging was a wake up call to the administrators that draft picks alone ain't going to get us where we want to be. If we are serious about winning a flag the club needs to act now to raise funds through the coterie & sponsorship to bring in the best coaches & footy dept we can assemble. If the club doesn't act now we can forget about getting anywhere near silverware within the next 10 years. There are going to be 17 other clubs competing for the grand prize soon, the only way to beat them is to get ahead of them off the field. We are clearly behind in terms of our FD, time for that to change starting now.

Agreed. Bonus points for not being tarnished by the Casey debacle either.

Oh hell, what happened there? I haven't been paying enough attention clearly :unsure: !!!

I don't think the "good lord" comes into it at all QueenC, cause I reckon it is fair to say that he has forsaken the supporters of the MFC :lol:

But the little league won 9.3 to nothing. Number 14 was pretty good, should have debut in the seniors, maybe they all should have stayed on after half time. THEY OUT SCORED THE SENIORS!

What I want to know is ...

Which braniac/s at Melbourne approved a bloke obviously sick with a virus to even suit up and run out on to the ground?

It beggars belief.

Most players will play given the opportunity. Especially someone as gung-ho as Beamer. It seems amateurish that the medical staff didn't just say "No". That does worry me.

I wouldn't surprise me to hear that Bailey had questioned Brent about his commitment with a zero possession half and his response required the substitution.

If Moloney had the flu, he should never have played. He's a highly paid & experienced professional athlete, something's seriously wrong if that's the excuse/reason.

On the other hand, if he was fit to play, getting zero touches (and zero DT points, a world record as far as I'm aware) is indicative of a player with serious problems.

Either way, Beamer let MFC down badly.

(and he's a guy I've had the greatest admiration for, got him in my DT but will seriously consider trading him this week)

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
